Ok let me start off by saying I hate snow. any way i was driving home and i was hitting tons of snow in the road and i was just wondering have any of you guys with suspension drops expereinced any problems with winter time anything i should be aware of because im looking to drop my car and the snow makes me think twice..

 

i've felt no difference if that helps...im on s-techs too

 

Tires make the difference in the snow. Plain and simple.

 

only time I have trouble is after driveways hav been plowed into the road. I f---ing hate hitting those chunks. That's only because I have a body kit too. as far as driving, good tires will guide you through.

 

I have had no problems in the winter... I have read some things that say that being lower actually helps a bit with how the weight distribution works... Lower center of gravity or something... Anyway, if it isn't deeper then my bumper I'm just fine.

 

No, tires are what matter. Unless theres like 2 feet of unplowed snow, thats the only time your gonna get stuck if your lowered.

 

i've been dropped w/a bodykit in NE weather. All i wished for were better snow tires.

 

Let me say that toyo proxy snow tires are awsome. i have yet to go off the road and i pass people every morning going to mcc (school) oh yeah i drive like an a$$. drifting is awsome too

 

 

LoL

 

do not get all season tires!!! for the first time in my life i was scared of driving! i nearly hit 4 cars when hitting the breaks, and yes i was driving snow. and forget it in 2inches of snow im literally not going no where

 

I cant use my car in the snow, I take out the 4x4 pathfinder .

-My tires are horrible in the snow, my barely grab. I have to be going no more than 15mph to be able to turn and might not even have a chance to stop.

-Brakes are horrible in the snow

-The car has to much low-end power even letting go of the clutch with a tap of the gas will make the wheels spin.

-Body kit, full suspension work, full exhaust system... im not looking forward to ripping or damaging anything.

 

When driving in the snow start out in 2nd gear.

 

second gear huh.... im going to try it out today

 

I've been using nothing but Dunlop Sport A2's for years now. They're great in the snow.

Runnin on Maxspeed springs.

 

any probs with rust because of the car draging every year in the snow? on exhaust or any place else?

 

I use my car as a snow plow, anytime it snows here im the first person that gets called to plow the city streets!

 

you have a plow on a maxima?

 

no i use my front bumper I just raise up my rear and lay my bumper on the ground

 

lol i thought it was just a show car, btw is that daily driven?

 

Both of yous

 

S-a-r-c-a-s-m

 

Trust me, I know one of them wasnt... I-g-n-o-r-a-n-c-e

 

I've had my max in s.l.c. for 5 years now, 1 year w/ eibachs and haven't had any problems yet, & tires are definatly the key!!

 

Here, you might want this...

 

Just have to be a little more careful. I can normally get in and out of my driveway no problem. but when the plows makes that nice pile of S@#T at the end, I came off of it and scraped in the front. also watch for wheel well chunks in the road, they hurt. other than that, no problem and buffalo,ny is a good test of winter abilities IMO.

 

I drive it but not everyday, Drive it to shows and on sunny days, but haven't drove it since november. Been working on my stereo setup and had to remove my air tank so I can't drive it til i finish the setup.

 

Haven't experienced a problem as far as w/ the drop as far as w/ the snow. Just like someone said, I hate the when damn snow plows come by and plow a huge snow bank in front of the driveway. Then that becomes a problem.

 

What broke?

Unless you're talking about the B-R-A-K-E-S
